Chapter 487For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together.8And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken.9Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein.10Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.11Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.12Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.13And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.14How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war?15Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.16The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.17All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod!18Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holds.19O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done?20Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,21And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,22And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim,23And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon,24And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.25The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD.26Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himself against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

The Book of Jeremiah, or Jeremiah (יִרְמְיָהוּ Yirməyāhū in Hebrew), is part of the Hebrew Bible, Judaism's Tanakh, and later became a part of Christianity's Old Testament. It was originally written in a complex and poetic Hebrew (apart from verse 10:11, curiously written in Biblical Aramaic), recording the words and events surrounding the life of the Jewish prophet Jeremiah who lived at the time of the destruction of Solomon's Temple (587/6 BC) in Jerusalem during the fall of the Kingdom of Judah at the hands of Babylonia.
